FOUNDATION FOR PROSPERITY (2): DEDICATION

Verily, verily, I say unto you, Except a corn of wheat fall into the ground and die, it abideth alone: but if it die, it bringeth forth much fruit.
John 12:24 (KJV)

Proverbs 23:26 says, “My son, give me thine heart, and let thine eyes observe my ways.” Note that Yahweh didn’t say, “My son give Me your cash.” When it comes to kingdom prosperity, if your heart is not there, your cash is wasted! Talking about the Macedonian Church, they enjoyed so much grace in the realm of prosperity, because as Apostle Paul said of them in II Corinthians 8:5, “And this they did, not as we hoped, but first gave their own selves to the Lord, and unto us by the will of God.” When your heart is tuned unto Yahweh, your sacrifices become acceptable, otherwise they have no meaning to Him. People have made too many mistakes hitherto thinking that they can impress Yahweh with the volume of their giving; what moves Him is your heart. We saw the Lord Yahushua beside the offering basket in the temple in Mark 12:41-44 watching what who and who was giving. At the end of the offering, he made a shocking revelation that according to heaven’s assessment for that service, a poor widow gave more than all of them. So, it is not the volume of your offering, but the position of your heart. Is your heart on the Lord Yahushua or not?

Dedication is getting connected to Yahweh and His pleasures. When you’re separated from Him, you separate yourself unto suffering and troubles! After consecration is dedication. Dedication is being there with Him at all times. It’s being planted in the house of God. Psalms 92:13-14 says, “13 Those that be planted in the house of the Lord shall flourish in the courts of our God. 14 They shall still bring forth fruit in old age; they shall be fat and flourishing;” To “be planted” means to be committed. Do you find trees moving about? Wherever you find a tree today, that’s where you’ll meet it tomorrow. It’s planted. “Those who are planted…” That word “planted” explains what dedication is all about. Dedication is “deadly” commitment, being always there! Dedication guarantees a glorious future. Dedication is the mystery behind distinction. How dedicated you are determines how distinguished you will ever become in the kingdom. It’s not activity I’m talking about. It’s dedication—dedicated to Elohim, being planted in the courts of our Adonai, flourishing and still bringing forth fruits in old age! Psalms 1:3 says, “And he shall be like a tree planted by the rivers of water, that bringeth forth his fruit in his season; his leaf also shall not wither; and whatsoever he doeth shall prosper.” When you are planted you flourish. That makes all the difference. It says, “Whatsoever he doeth, it shall prosper.” Whatever he does, whether he is selling firewood or whatever, it must prosper.

Dedication is dying to self in order to be useful in the hands of the Lord Yahushua. That is exactly what our opening text is saying. Except you are planted and you die inside the ground of Yahushua, you abide alone and cannot prosper. Isaiah 61:3 says, “…that they might be called trees of righteousness, the planting of the Lord, that he might be glorified.” When you are planted in Him and by Him, that settles it! You will be glorified and Yahweh is glorified through you too. Get on key today! Selah!

REMEMBER: Dedication is deadly commitment.

CONFESSION: My heart is with the Lord and there is nothing with me that He can’t place a demand for because I have already given Him the best I’ve got which is my heart. Thank You Lord for the privilege of knowing You!

PROPHETIC RELEASE: Whatever stopping you from making that dedication of your heart to the Lord today is cursed from its roots in the name of Yahushua HaMashiach Amen!
